Seeing Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden is something that’s always been on my bucket list. My wife Allison’s too. So when our 20th wedding anniversary crept up on me last month, I figured it was time. I surprised Allie with tickets to Billy Joel at MSG with some pretty sweet seats. Now, I rarely go to concerts.

Having a great singing voice is killer. But drums? Yeah, nothing beats ’em. (Sorry, pun actually not intended!) The coolest thing about drums? Easily the drumsticks. Specifically twirling them.
